coogar: NANI NOT GOING ANYWHERE

Sir Alex Ferguson has denied that Nani will be sold during the January transfer window, though he did admit negotiations are ongoing with the Manchester United winger. Ferguson stated that once Nani has recovered from his hamstring injury he will again be in contention as he moved to deny reports the Portuguese had played his last game for the club.

"He's injured," Ferguson told manutd.com. "His contract's not up for a year and a half. Yes, absolutely [he has a future at the club]. Why would I want to let him go? Obviously his people have been negotiating with [chief executive] David [Gill] about a new contract but I don't know what stage we are at with that. But we won't be letting him go.

"We need a Nani. He offers something different from the other players. He's an incredible talent, the boy's a great talent. Unfortunately, he's injured at the moment so we sent him over to Dubai for a break and hoping a bit of warmth will help him in his recovery. He's not far away but he's far enough away. I don't think I'll get him back until probably the middle of January.

"It's a hamstring injury he's got. A player like Nani has never had a hamstring injury ever – I don't think he's ever had many injuries with us. But he's got it right in the top and it's a bad one."

Regarding reports Ferguson will sign Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski, he said: "It's nonsense. Absolute nonsense."

bxg: How come Rooney neva seems to lash out at Valencia.......To me, Rooney is Nani's biggest critic. Anytime Nani is indecisive, makes a bad pass or takes a wild shot Rooney would throw a tantrum on the pitch and cuss at him buh u neva see im giving valencia d same treatment as horrible as valencia as bin

coogar:

valencia is predictable, nani isn't.
the unpredictable is uncontrollable and rooney doesn't want that. valencia has been our most useless player this season. he cannot beat his man again, he slows the attack down and with no rafael making decoy runs, the ecuadorian has been found out by prem defenders. although, to be honest, he has been found out since 2009 but his sheer pace still allowed him to beat his markers.....these days, that pace is gone and he has no trick up his sleeves. he should be sold!

montelik: Starboard and Ruudie aren't going to be pleased with this news. I wonder if extended doses of Valencia has softened their apprehension to Nani.

For what it worth I believe everything SAF said is total dross. He said the same thing about Pogba and Berba at this point last season and they end up gone at the end of the season. My gut says we keep Nani till the end of the season and then he is let go and we bring in another Winger or 2.

SailorXY: ^^^ well said! seconded

chrisley024: DDG + Cash 4 CR7! Temptin! Bt r we goin 2 play wit no GK

Purist: Sexiest moment of the match

RVP:
He appears to be revelling in the challenge of being a United player too, explaining yesterday, in words that are sure to twist the knife for any Arsenal fans reading this morning: "We have to look at it game by game but everybody wants to be champions. I feel that I'm surrounded by champions.

"This is a special team. Everybody wants to help each other. Everybody's keen for everyone to score. Defenders are working their socks off for the midfielders, the midfielders are working for the strikers... everybody wants to run and everybody has one target in their mind. They know how to win and that makes it really easy for me."

RuuDie:

Top man, that RvP...top, top man!
Funny I never regarded him much when he was at Arsenal!

montelik: The 10 page "Nani is or isn't total shyte" discussion from earlier in the season has tired us all out.

RuuDie: This is it. . .naybody that dares to insult Baba Giggs again on this thread will be BANNED!
